Gaming Lag and Browsing Hesitation

For the past several months I've noticed several obvious changes to my direct wired internet connection, gaming lag and a hesitation when using the browser.  There have been no changes on my end to trigger these two issues. 

I've followed every suggested fix through the online assistant as well as powering down, connecting/reconnect, etc.....and no changes.  Speedtest numbers (942/down 41/up  22/idle latency 25/download latency 21/upload latency.)  This during an evening test when the network is likely busy.

Oddly enough, also several months ago, I received a call from Comcast stating they were in my neighborhood and needed access to the junction box in my gated yard.  The work was about 3 houses down and the hole they dug remained open for several months.  I'm not sure if they ever made it into my back yard to the box.

What can we do to remove this lag that used to not be present on this connection?
